Thanks to our reviewer Satabdi for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** Soul Curry is a potpourri of emotions, thoughts, and feelings. The author has a keen eye for detail and has woven her observations into poetry and prose with great care.  The common thread among all the poems, personal essays, and stories is the author's positive outlook. Even when she's talking of tragic events or injustices, she adds a hopeful note. She appears to be looking forward, ready to forgive and forget. I loved that about this book! The collection of poems --both free verse and rhyming verse -- is of high quality and offers deep insights. The author has the skill to turn the mundane into something magical and ethereal. Each poem reveals something new about the way the author thinks and how she views the world around her. She can be a passive observer, recording events and behavior without comment. Or she can subtly insert her opinion into her observations.  She talks about a variety of t...

 ** Thanks to our reviewer Teekay for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** ‘Soul Curry’ by Shikha Gupta is a collection of contemporary poems and anecdotes (or blogs). The contents are just what a modern reader looks for - a freeflowing verse, gradual tipping and short length. As they say, writing has undergone changes over the last few decades. So, is the pattern of reading. While reading a book, majority of the readers nowadays prefer quick reads instead of slow-paced lengthy pieces. ‘Soul Curry’ addresses this very need for readers like me.  As the title suggests, all the pieces touch our souls, swirling our thoughts on various societal taboos and conservations too.  Overall, I would like to rate the book as 4*/5*. This monsoon weekend, go ahead and pick up this fodder to satiate your grey cells. All the Literoma reviews are available at our page:- https://literomagroup.blogspot.com/

 ** Thanks to our reviewer Tamal Kanti for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** It needs a near perfect writing skill to pull off the emotions and thoughts of a human soul. Author Shikha Gupta proved her mettle in this regard and pulled off a great book named ‘Soul Curry’. The book consists of two major sections - poetry and prose of which poetry touched my heart the most. I am not a regular poetry reader, but Shikha's lyrical representations made me read it in a single breath. Proses are more like blogs than fully knitted stories, but the glimpses of society captured in her plots is worth mentioning. Literoma did a fabulous job in compiling the best of her blogs and publish in the form of a book with such a bright cover. I am not going to disclose the full contents here as part of my review. What touched me most is that how the books brings out a lot about human attributes, how different people respond to crisis situations and how their journey of life take different cours...

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** Seldom you find a book which touches fiction and philosophy simultaneously with equal ease. ‘Soul Curry’ by blogger turned author Shikha Gupta is one such rare example. Since the book is written in a lucid language, the reader will tend to strike an immediate chord with the author.
